Working at Teen Vogue, I get the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing ladies and gentlemen. One of the MOST inspiring people I’ve met in my time here is Josh Rifkind. When Josh isn’t managing awesome rock band The Whigs, he’s running his own nonprofit, the Songs for Kids Foundation.

The Songs for Kids Foundation brings artists into hospitals and special needs camps year-round to perform for kids who could use a little bit of cheer. In the past, performers like Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkley, MuteMath, Janelle Monae (pictured above), Pete Yorn and Brett Dennen have all taken part in performances.

Later this week, Josh kicks off his annual fundraiser, 500 Songs for Kids. The event, which runs from April 30th through May 9th at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta, Georgia, will feature 500 artists performing 500 different songs. This year’s theme is "The 500 Most Passionate Songs of All Time." For each of the ten nights, bands will help Josh perform all five hundred of the songs.

For more about the event, the Songs for Kids Foundation, or to find out which songs made Josh’s list of "The 500 Most Passionate Songs of All Time" go to www.songsforkidsfoundation.org.

And, for fun.... tell me what would be your "most passionate song of all time" is in the comments. (I’m thinking about mine now. Will post my choice in the comments once I’m decided.)
